Hi there! I have a really newbie question here:

I'm gonna be recieving an ASUS 5201UX tomorrow so i decided to go to the support page and start downloading the drivers.

http://www.asus.com/us/Notebooks/K501UX/HelpDesk_Download/

Now my question is. Do i need to install all of them or are they already in the PC? I assume i have to update the ones that have new versions but what about the other ones?

What about the utilities. Do i need them?

Also. Under VGA there is a "nVIDIA graphics driver" and an "intel graphics driver". Should i install both (are they gonna interfere with one another) or should i just install de nVIDIA one?

And same thing under Bluetooth, there is a "Qualcomm Atheros BlueTooth driver" and a "Intel BlueTooth driver"
Thanks in advance.

Your laptop will come with the drivers installed. You can run SlimDrivers to make sure they are current when you get it. You don't need the utlities unless there are some that would be helpful to you. There is also a progam called PCDecrapifier that will allow you to uninstall all the unecessary bloatware that comes with a new laptop.
